Year 5 enjoyed a fantastic visit to Shrewsbury Abbey this week as part of their Religious Education and Art learning.
During their visit, the children explored the many features of a church that they have been studying in RE this term. They were able to identify and discuss important features, including the altar, font, stained glass windows and pulpit, bringing their classroom learning to life.
The visit also provided an excellent opportunity for the children to support their Art studies, where they are currently learning about architecture. Armed with sketchbooks and pencils, the pupils carefully observed the Abbey’s impressive structure and architectural details, creating observational sketches inspired by the historic building.
The children represented the school brilliantly, showing curiosity, respect and enthusiasm throughout the visit. We are very proud of their thoughtful questions, excellent behaviour and the high-quality sketches they produced.
A wonderful day of learning that helped bring both RE and Art to life! 📖⛪✏️🎨
